Large language models may be able to make moderation of social media and online communities more effective, but they are expensive to run at scale, especially when asked to provide explanations for each piece of content they flag. Yuan Zhao will present research on creating an interpretable and low-cost method for evaluating LLMs’ hate speech classification as part of 190th ASA Meeting. His framework relies on the Rational Inattention model, an economic idea developed to explain human behavior.
Researchers have developed artificial intelligence (AI) models that can scrutinize electronic health records (EHR) and electrocardiograms to identify individuals in the general population at elevated risk for sudden cardiac arrest — a condition that causes more than 400,000 U.S. deaths annually and has a survival rate of only 10%.
The finding represents a significant advance in predicting a largely unpredictable medical emergency that often strikes people with no known heart disease.
"Using artificial intelligence applications and health records data, the prediction of cardiac arrest in the general population is feasible,” said Dr. Neal Chatterjee, the study’s lead investigator and a cardiologist at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
JACC: Advances, a journal of the American College of Cardiology, published the paper today. Other co-senior authors are from Massachusetts General Hospital and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.
